cognizance of the vastness of the subject,
except from the one side. They do not
realize that the Hill country, as large and
rich as Pennsylvania. is shut off from the
rest of the country. by the retention of
tract OF land twice as large as Indiana, by
lazy. INDECENT nomadic race. They do
not seem able to understand that the main
object of the bill is not the dspossession of
the Indians, nor the opening of their lands
to speculation. They cannot or will not
realize that the Hill country is richer than
Ophir, more fertile than the plains of Es-
draelon, and that the right of way
across the reservation is sought in order to
bring that Ell Dorado within reach of COM
merce. The settlement of the lands is but
a coroilary of the main issue. Misunder-
standing the fundamental principle involved
they oppose the measure. There be friends
OF the bill who declare that this opposition
IS willful, malicious and engendered by
selfishnesS. They have hard words to say
concerning the gentlemen who oppose the
bill. They, too, are wrong. DR.. Sunder-
land, Gen. Denver and the rest are sincere
phiianthropists. Conversations with them
and minute inquiries into their plans and
purposes warrant the expression of belief
in their integrity in this as in all other mat
tiers. But they are misguided, and their

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Gen. Sparks,
the king of the land business, still sits COM
placently in his Office enthroned upon his
own dignity, unmindful of the buzzing of
the official flies. There has been no officer
OF the government under this administra-
ton who has been obliged to endure so
much vituperation and utilization
as Sparks. Rumors Of his resigna-
ton have been of frequent occurrence;
and the wonder of the land has been, how
/ e manages to retain his position Dele
gate Toole, of Montana. is about the only
representative man of the North and West
who has not made it part of his daily bust
ness to abuse Sparks. 1t begins to dawn
upon the gentlemen who have been most
active i'll this fuliSade against the commits
Sloner that he has the confidence of the
president absolutely in land office matters.
All who have attacked Sparks have met
with diSappOintmentS of some sort. Martin
Maginnis was always and persistently loud
in his anti-SparkS sentiments. He was not
appointed governor of Montana. Morton
E. Post, eX-delegate for Wyoming. and one
OF the fnest gentlemen in the country, was
not appointed governor of Wyoming. NJ
ii. Day, the accepted party leader of the
Democracy Of Dakota, has not failed to let
the president, Secretary Lamar aud others
know OF his enmity to Sparks. Mr.. Day
was not appointed governor of Dakota
The gentlemen who have been appointed to
the territorial governorshps
ARE SPARKS MEN,
every one of them. 1t seems that the title.
Land King" given the commissioner by
the genial Manning, of Mississippi, is his
proper cognOmen. Being commissioner, he
controls his bureau automatically. He
asks no favors of any of the politicians but
seems to quietly smile in ghoulish glee when
ever new attack is made upon him. 1t is
new idea, and it grows apace, in politi-
cal minds, that Sparks is acquainted with
the administration, and that the admins
tration is acquainted with the commissioner.
The much-abused Sparks policy seems to
be now regarded as the Cleveland policy.
Certain it is that whomsoever Sparks
wants left III the territorial cold,
shivering iii the billiards of white
house dispieasure, ''get there" and SILVER.
SagaciouS men who have favorS yet to ask
of the administration are beginning to see
that Sparks is very much of a gentleman
and an admirable official" They are dill
gent in declaring, 81 never had any SYM
pathy with the villifiers of the commits
sioner." Some of them a few months ago
were part and parcel of the pack which
was trying to run Sparks into hole and
sacrifice him. They have pitched their tune
on a different scale and have had encore
verses written for them. Nothing succeeds
like success. Sparks has been successful
with the administration. To be successful
with Sparks is now the slogan.

What the New Prohibition Club. of
Huron. Will Attempt.

Special to the Globe.
HURON, Oak, Dec. 31.-E yer since the
election last fall, when temperance and
morality were made leading question in
the canvaSs-or rather were brought more
prominently before the people than ever
before in the history of Huron-there has
been an increased desire on the part of
those foremost in moral and temperance
reform to organize for more determined
effort in the future. By persistent effort
| ahd continuous agitation the public mind
has been brought directly in contact
with the sentiments as expressed and
urged by the champions of this
particular question. The result of their la
bors is the formation of the Huron PrOhib-
ton club. which has for its object, as de-
fined in its constitution, the PRONUNCIATION
of the principles and policy of prohibition
i'll the legal suppression of the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors. and to CO.
! operate in the enforcement of existing legiS-
latiOn for the suppression of houses of i'll
fame and gambling, and the sale OF liquors
to minors and drunkardS." The organiza-
| ton is not composed of a few cranks OF
fanatics, but embraces some of our best and
| most prominent citizens, representing the
various religious denominations and both
political parties. Several meetings were
held before an organization was effected,
and not then till the proposition to organize
was thoroughly discussed.
BECAUSE THE NAME PROHIBITION"
was adopted does not signify that the lead
erS propose no longer to affiliate with the
old political parties. Not a bit of it.

respective partieG to secure the election to

in hearty accord with the sentiments eX-
| pressed in the above extract from the con-
! stitutiOn of the organization. If, after rea-
Sonable trial, it becomes apparent that sue
cess cannot be obtained in this way, it may
be deemed advisable to act independent of
either political party and enter the canvass
under the Prohibition flag. The moral con-
dition Of the city for the past year has ren-
dered move OF the above character absO.

Special o the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-There is posi-
lively no probability of the passage of the
Springer bill for the admission of Dakota
by the senate. The bill is obnoxious to the
policy of the Republican majority in the
senate, and is not entirely satisfactory to
the Democrats of Dakota. Even the most
intense divisionists and they who demand
statehood or blood are now asking only that
the whole matter be submitted to vote of
the people. This state of affairs is well
known in Washington, and the senate will
probably not even consider the
Springer bill. 1t is an ON
nibus institution, and undemocratic
in every line. The Hill bill will pass the
house during this session, but will not pass
the senate for the reason that, although
more liberal and Democratic than the
Springer effort, it does not leave the matter
to a majority vote of tie people of the ter
ritory, but to majority vote of each sec
ton. Senator Harrison and others are
opposed 10 that method of voting mas
much as there are no sections, except in
imagination, the bill is incomplete and I'M
lawful. 1t cannot be made law. The
people of the territory should vote upon the
question OF division, and the matter is of
such Importance that it should not be left
to any section or section of a section. Thus
